What tarp is that and did you have any modifications done to it?

We decided to try out a bridge hammock while at our spring hang. Had to fiddle with it for a bit before deciding to just stake out both ends and make it closer to level. In the end, Redfish was all happy!

Everything is a modification, Jared makes these to order.
I chose 13' and SilPoly XL in Coyote Brown, straight edges rather than catenery cut, side panel pull-outs so I could use my pole mod, swapped the line-locs for D-rings.
In the pictures there are only 4 guy lines total, but I can use the middle D-Ring to add another guy line on at least the windward side when it is blowing. I can also use guylines to stop the doors blowing around - there are 3 D-Rings on each side plus one per door for a total of 10 D-Rings around the bottom. There are 4 more D-Rings on the side pull-outs which I often use for my pole mod, but I have used one to pull the side out so that the wind doesn't keep pushing that side into the hammock (it was really blowing hard).
I like the D-Rings because they let me use whatever I like. My new setup is using Dutch Fleaz on loops of Zing-It attached to the D-Rings. Then I take a piece of Lawson's Glow Wire with a loop at one end and attach it to my peg, the free end goes around the hook on the Fleaz and then around the antenna to hold it is place.
I like the tarp custom made with my choices, already seam-sealed and ready to go. This should get a lot of use at a bunch of motorcycle rallies and around the country whenever I go motorcycle camping. Combined with my Tensa4 stand, Dream Hammock Sparrow and Hammock Gear Quilts - I'm warm, comfortable and well protected from the wind & rain.
So where are we at with a tarp solution for 2 connected stands?
Has there been interest by others for such a product?

Cheryl, why did you guys switch from amsteel line for the end tie downs and width tie downs to straps?
I'm not Cheryl or Latherdome, but I know the answer they've given before; the amsteel UCRs were time-consuming to make and not as intuitive to new users as straps. Also, the fact that they were a little lighter than straps didn't end up being an important factor in a product that weighs about 10 lbs.
Baka Dasai is right. But we also continue to offer UCRs as an option, at a surcharge. It’s funny, as soon as we switched to webbing as the default, half the people who’d recently gotten Amsteel versions wanted webbing as “the latest,” and a much higher number than expected were happy to pay more to get Amsteel.

That orange webbing!.. Amsteel for me though.
Yup. I upgraded to the webbing but I still like to have the UCR's in my kit.

I’m a little crazy when it comes to wanting to try what’s out there, so I ordered both the UCRs and the webbing. While the UCRs are lighter and prettier, IMHO the webbing is a little easier/quicker to make slight adjustments. I have found myself choosing the webbing the last few times I’ve setup.
But if I wanted to impress friends or family, (or were setting up when expecting rain) I’d go with the UCRs as they are cool and beautifully made.
